| I have tried SO many Spanish programs! For school "credit" I'd like to encourage you to remember how it was in school. Did you finish the book? Did you know the language? As homeschoolers we tend to think the subject isn't done, or "covered" until it's mastered. Not so with foreign languages. The first year is pretty much to get you familiar with the basics. You'll "master" a few phrases but unless you really go the extra mile, it doesn't stick. (This may be different for those with an aptitude for languages, but most people only remember about 5 phrases from high school foreign language.)
With that said, you may choose to really learn a language! Be prepared to go beyond the program. Label everything, speak it to one another whenever possible, insert palabras en sentences, "order dinner" by asking for the specific foods in the target language, turn your dvd's to the target language, etc. |
